Pop Up Hot Dogs - Brixton market Row

[Dan Andres]

no need for matching haircuts either but there it is...

do you think Brixton, sorry Brickers is 'edgy' and 'vibrant'

yes i love Brixton been living in SW London for over 7 years, used to host a club night at the 414 and think its great what they have done to the village/market row good to see so many independent food and retail shops opening up.

The prices aren't actually that bad assuming they're made with proper meat, rather than the lips and arseholes more commonly associated with cheapo hot dogs.

Yep. It's not cheap but if assuming they're decent quality, it's the same sorta price you get round here when the German / French market comes to town. Not something you'd eat on a regular basis.

I'm going by the fiver quoted. Not seen the other prices.

do you think Champagne and Fromage is suited to Brixton?
how many of these independent/pop up businesses started from small acorns and grew from hard graft and not daddies money do you think?
what about the independent businesses that were already there being priced out?

Uh-oh.

i think you should be worried about the fact Brindisa food and i think a branch of wahaka are opening in Brixton soon. i would much rather the independent businesses do well than have more chains on the high street.

going a little off topic.

 

[ddraig]

wow, some interesting and some silly comments.. nice to see a scene of community amongst each other come on guys can we do a little better than abusive comments?

Anywho calm down folks we haven't even opened yet and finalized our menu. apologies as the website wasn't up to date when i published this post.

But yes our prices wont be dirt cheap, they will be in line with what was posted previously on or web page, as the products were using wont be nasty products you get from factory farming and big factory bakeries.

Were a team of chefs that believe in serving good quality food at a fair price.

• were using native breeds.co.uk for our pork sausages they have high welfare standards and use rare breed Brittish pigs
• brioche bread
• organic milk
• organic fair trade chocolate and peanut butter
• we source good quality ingredients for the fillings

im sure you will have some more fun with this info, but i hope it helps you understand a little more about the products we will be selling.

does everything have to be nicey nice?
why are your prices so high when you are not paying rent or rates or fixtures and fittings?
do you call yourself a hotdog chef with a straight face?
what is so god about killing and cooking rare breeds?

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

They taste good?

 

[ddraig]

extra good because they're rare?

I thought 'chefs' made things from scratch. Heating up a sausage you've bought from a rare breed supplier isn't really cooking is it.

again someone else who knows our accounts, didn't know our business files got leaked.. lol

• we have bought fixtures equipment and decor and obviously spent money getting this project up and running
• i call myself Daniel
• great to be supporting small businesses, not factory framing where animal suffer (have you read up about native breeds)?
  
• there is enough negativity and abuse going on out there no need to spend your time contributing to this

 

[han]

It's really the pricing that's objectionable here. If it was a fiver for a hotdog including chips, that'd be ok. I'd pay that for a decent quality sausage.

unless i unknowingly cheffed my beans on toast earlier!

You might be posting on the wrong boards, tbf.

your outlay is not going to be the same as a proper cafe/restarunt is it?
are you a chef or no? lol
do the rare breed pigs not get slaughtered then? no need to read up on them as knowing they are killed for hipster snacks is enough for me ta
so you want to broadcast unchallenged and think people should swallow your prices and marketing spiel like good consumers?

 

[editor]

I'm no Dr Dolittle but I'm pretty sure no animal actually wants to be slaughtered, so the best you can hope for is a slightly less cruel short life.

i think you should be worried about the fact Brindisa food and i think a branch of wahaka are opening in Brixton soon. i would much rather the independent businesses do well than have more chains on the high street.

I'm not a fan of either, but it certainly looks like a lot more locals will at least be able to afford Wahaka's prices.

 

[editor]

these were our guide prices we set up, most of which will stay the same, a few were wrongly priced and a few TBH we have had a rethink, as we like to take on board all comments, however nasty they may be, we still listen.

I don't think people complaining about unaffordable prices in their local market really amounts to 'nastiness.' I'd say you've gained some valuable feedback here, and if it's made you reconsider your pricing strategy, then that's a good thing, no?

That's a false dichotomy tho - not all indie shops are good for the local economy, nor need they be particularly ethical. See Champagne & Fromage for a recent and pertinent example of a shop that can frankly get to fuck, no matter how independent it is. It offers very little to local shoppers bar a tiny wealthy segment, and it (at least inadvertently) promotes the perception that Brixton is now a playground of the upper middle/upper classes, effectively spitting in the faces of the many many poor people living in the ward and the surroundings.

Quoting that just to add another 'like.'

I can buy free range/ gluten and wheat free sausages for £1.60 each and stick that in a 67p piece of bread. I presume you buy in bulk so its a huge mark up and not a fair price. Its another lets sting the yuppies enterprise which ever way you dress it up. If you have such a "passion" for food could'nt you come up with something better than sausage in bread ? Organic,rare breed, fair trade, its all jargon to justify overpriced food.

 

[SarfLondoner]

i didn't realize you knew how much our ingredients cost, our brioche hot dog bun alone comes in at 67p cost thank you

as mentioned before there is no need for abuse/nasty comments?

If you are so keen on cooking and creating why don't you make your own bread instead of buying it in from elsewhere?

 

[Fez909]

I think these prices are great. Take the plain dog for £5. That's 20% (a whole pound!) cheaper than Bubbledog's champagne & hotdog bar! They do make their own sausages, though, so perhaps the £1 is justified.

Oop North we have our own 'gourmet' junk food as well. Primo's, where all the hot dogs are £4.25, no matter the topping. Veggie ones cost less. Oh, and they have bricks n mortar.

 

[Dexter Deadwood]

£4.50 for a shake..fucking hell!

 

[el-ahrairah]

yused to host a club night at the 414

which one? i might have met you before

Then apply the standard x3 markup for catering and you get.... Something not too far from what they're charging.

I'll say it again - if what they are selling is decent, ethically sourced produce, the prices are about right.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

extra good because they're rare?

Only if cooked properly. Can't stand well done.

I'm surprised it's not going down better on here then.

Ooh get you with your 'decent ethically sourced produce', coming from Mr 'Loyalty Card at Big John's'
